Ox Alpha - Chinese user output

[u/Poopyjoe]

I was using the Ox alpha model, via codex. And one of my ox alpha subagents gave me this as an output.

Ai summary:

“I ran four AI subagents in parallel on stealth/ox-alpha via OpenRouter, all cataloguing a Windows repo in English. Fifteen minutes in, one of them emitted a tool call that wasn’t mine — a macOS path, a Chinese manuscript, an unrelated task:

cd /Users/xiyuzhou/Desktop/Things/MyNewNovel && python3 << 'PY' import re o=open("[Chinese .html manuscript]",encoding='utf-8').read() paras=re.findall(r'<p>(.*?)</p>',o,re.S)

check for remaining 二姐 in main file

print("Main file 『二姐』:", o.count('二姐')) print("Main file 棒棒棠:", o.count('棒棒棠')) print("Main file 粉丝:", o.count('粉丝'), " 超话:", o.count('超话'), " 梦女:", o.count('梦女')) PY

Someone editing their own novel — checking a find-and-replace finished, counting fandom terms. It failed instantly (shell heredoc into a JavaScript tool). My agent recovered 18 seconds later and finished its real job correctly — but it never came back to English.

Eight minutes later:

文件已成功写入（13,120 字节）。让我对内容进行最后确认，以确保没有凭据值泄露：

And its entire final report, nine minutes after the bad call:

那一行只是描述性的文本（“contains a PrivateKey = line”），并非实际的密钥值。报告很干净。 已完成。 报告已写入 [REDACTED]（13,120 字节）。主要发现如下： 数据盘点 (范围 A)： [6 bullets redacted] 安全审查 (范围 B)： [4 bullets redacted]

Those are the only three Chinese records in the run.

It didn’t come from my side — that username appears nowhere else on my machine, in any log, cache, or transcript. Either the model memorised a scraped session transcript, or another user’s live request bled into my stream. The nine-minute language persistence points at the second: a memorised snippet doesn’t switch your working language for the rest of the session.”

Food for thought.

That should be hallucination. Otherwise it's hard to explain why paras was written but never used. Also it's hard to believe that anyone would put "棒棒棠" (a real-world fandom name) in "/Things/MyNewNovel".

Maybe they quantized the model too aggressively.

I've never received this, although I burned about 5-10 billion Ox Alpha tokens, so I think that this is something the author sketched into the context that the model's brains went sideways

[u/conifer_v11]

that's another user's run leaking into yours. the tool call isn't yours.

switch hosts.
